and i'd like to take this opportunity to ask both romney and obama to debate me because i think that both of those guys -- i think that the american people are being given a false choice, because the choice between the lesser of two evils is a false choice. it's not an actual choice. i think that peace and freedom and solutions, economic solutions, that -- that involve investment in our own country first are the things that i offer and that i want to talk about. so i think, yes, i'm very, very serious. and, you know, i would like people to incorporate these ideas in this election cycle, such as -- >> sean: you're running as a socialist? >> well, i'm running on the peace and freedom party, and part of -- i do think we do need more socialism in this country this time. we need to move stuff from the top to the middle and the bottom, because it keeps on staying at the top. how you build a middle class is bring stuff from the top down to the middle. and people deserve something back for the tax they pay. >> sean: all right. so, for example, we now have a tax system. these are just facts.

mitt romney, tall, imposing. both of these men are tall, they look presidential. so just appearing on that stage, with the president of the united states, helps the challenger. >> it helps the challenger but think about, for example, mitt romney's challenge versus ronald reagan's challenge in 1980, ronald reagan's challenge was to convince people that the viewers out there, that he had the gravitas, the intellectual force to be president. he didn't have to convince them he was likable. that seems to be an easier challenge to achieve than for a mitt romney to come across to people as somebody they want to have in their living room for the next four years talking to them when that has been the challenge all along that people have not for one reason or another really warmed up to him. that's going to be hard to do in the course of a debate and also in the course of a debate where you simultaneously want to be likable but also to rattle your opponent a little bit. >> you have to be negative and irritating and try to get president obama off his game, but at the same ti

romney puts paul ryan on the ticket. >> let me stop you there, truth going to be on trial, won't that have to be up to the candidates? i don't think the moderators will be fact-checkers in this debate. >> that's part of the problem in the environment that we're in. everyone views the truth through their own prism and doesn't accept reality if it disagrees where they are. i think both sides are going to accuse the other side of not sharing the sides. >> they're both they're going to do that. at some point, have to be called on it. >> who makes that decision is the voters. i think voters are going to start penalize people who don't cooperate. republicans wouldn't pass the president's jobs bill. this isn't about obama's record. this is about what's going on in washington. question is, who do you trust more to end that? and i think the odds are now with obama because people see obama as having try to work the other side. i think we'll get to a better place. i think it's going to be after the election. >> and this is the difficulty, always with governor romney is that, he wants to come acr
